Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices streaky bacon finely chopped
  • 2 chicken thighs very thinly sliced
  • 2 Plums halved
  • 4 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 Tbsp orange juice
  • 4 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes
  • ½ red onion thinly sliced
  • 60 g goat or cheddar cheese
  • 60 g salad leaves chopped
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the plums in a bowl and drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil. Set aside for 2-5 minutes to lightly infuse the flavour.
  • Preheat a sauté pan over medium heat.
  • Place the bacon pieces and chicken thighs pieces in the pan and cook for 2 minutes or so until coloured and just cooked. ( the chicken sliced very thinly will cook very quickly)
  • Add the plum pieces and continue to cook to allow some colour on the fruits. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In the meantime, in a second bowl, combine the honey, orange juice, 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil with salt and pepper until combined.
  • Toss in the tomatoes, and red onion, cheese, salad leaves.
  • Transfer the chicken and nectarine into the bowl with the cherry tomatoes. Toss once more and serve immediately for best flavour.
